[00:00.00] Lady sits in her garden fair, sewing a silken seam
[00:41.46]And by there come this Prince Heathen, and he vowed her love he'd gain
[00:45.99]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[00:50.61]Oh never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[00:56.22]She turned her around and aloud did cry, begone I love not you
[01:00.90]And then he vowed him Prince Heathen, that she would weep full sore
[01:05.49]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[01:10.05]Oh never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[01:16.65]So he's laid her all on the ground between himself and the wall
[01:21.45]And there he's stripped her of her will and her maidenhead and all
[01:26.04]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[01:30.60]Oh never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[01:36.15]Oh I slew your father in his bed and your mother by his side
[01:40.74]And your seven brothers one by one, I drowned them in the tide
[01:45.36]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[01:49.95]Oh never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[01:55.56]Oh I'll lay you in a vault of stone with thirty locks upon
[02:00.12]And meat nor drink you will never get till your baby it is born
[02:04.65]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[02:09.18]Oh never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[02:13.62]So he's laid her in a vault of stone with thirty locks upon
[02:17.76]And he's taken the key in his right hand to the mountain he has gone
[02:22.71]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[02:27.27]Oh never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[02:50.13]Prince Heathen he from the mountains came with his merry men all in a line
[02:55.02]And he sought out this fair young maid down in her vault of stone
[02:59.52]And how d'you do and do you weep, lady tell me true
[03:03.99]I'm never weeping, heathen dog, but dying here for you
[03:08.49]Oh meat nor drink you'll never get, nor out of prison come
[03:12.96]Oh meat nor drink you will never get, till your baby it is born
[03:17.46]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[03:21.99]Ah never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[04:02.94]Her time came on and further on, in labour there she lay
[04:07.53]She laboured up she laboured down, but lighter she could not be
[04:12.18]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[04:16.62]Ah never yet you, heathen dog, and never yet for you
[04:22.11]So he's laid her all on the green and his merry men stood around
[04:26.88]And how they laughed and how they mocked, as she brought forth a son
[04:31.35]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[04:35.82]Ah never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
[04:58.11]A drink, a drink, the young girl cries, all from Prince Heathen's hand
[05:02.55]Oh never a drop, Prince Heathen cries, till ye give up your son
[05:09.03]Then lend to me a silken shawl or a blanket or a sheet
[05:20.46]That I may wrap this little baby, that lies in me arms asleep
[05:33.81]Oh I'll lend you an old horse blanket to wrap him head and feet
[05:38.46]And there she took it in her hand, so bitter she did weep
[05:42.90]O lady do you weep for me, lady tell me true
[05:47.34]Oh never yet you, heathen dog, and never now for you
[05:52.80]Could you not give any better thing than a horse blanket or a sheet
[05:57.36]To wrap and swaddle your own young son, that lies in my arms asleep
[06:10.62]He's borne her up so very soft, borne her up so slow
[06:15.36]He's laid her down in a soft green bed, so dearly he loved her now
[06:19.80]O lady will you weep for me, lady tell me true
[06:24.36]Ah never yet you, heathen dog, I never shall for you
